In this way and that I tried to save the old pail
Since the bamboo strip was weakening, about to break
Until at last the bottom fell out.
No more water in the pail!
No more moon in the water!
---Chiyono
I want to go soon and live away by the pond, where I shall hear only the wind whispering among the reeds. It will be a success if I shall have left myself behind.

Since the house is on fire, let us warm ourselves.

When I read Greg Palast's column in the UK Guardian from Friday, and featured yesterday by TruthOut, I hesitated to get excited about it. Palast's stuff invariably is upsetting, but I sense a lot of resentment fueling him and also somehow his opinions just don't seem to catch fire. Maybe it's the "conspiracy" of the mainstream media that keeps other reporters and editorial writers from going near his theories. At any rate this time his article is titled "Democracy In Chains" and begins~~~
"Don't kid yourself: the Republican party's decision yesterday to 'delay' [link] the renewal of the Voting Rights Act has not a darn thing to do with objections of the Republican's white sheets caucus.
Complaints by a couple of good ol' boys to legislation have never stopped the GOP leadership from rolling over dissenters.
This is a strategic stall that is meant to decriminalise the Republican party's new game of challenging voters of colour by the hundreds of thousands."
[link]
The first comment in the massive thread that erupted from the essay is by someone known as MisterD~~~
"This article conflates about five different issues in order to make the false claim that the Republicans are trying to deny citizens the right to vote. They are not. They are just trying to stop the massive vote fraud and ballot box stuffing the Democrats attempt at every election.
This is a poorly researched and poorly reasoned efort to smear Republicans as bigots. Like all of Palast's writing, it is designed to enflame the already feverish minds of the ignorant." More >

EARTH
I love your hills, I love your trees,
I love your birds, oh and your bees,
Chorus: I love your whales and waterfalls,
But Earth I love you, most of all.
I love your skies, both gray and blue,
I love seas and mountains too.
Chorus:
Bridge:
You are a pearl of a great price,
A living soul, of flame and ice,
You are a precious.... master piece,
From Everest and sea to sea.
I love your eagles, your fruits and spice,
I love you valleys in day and night.
Chorus....
Earth I love you most of all.

Dear Friends, Our topic is "Organizing a Unity-and-Diversity Global Assembly from the Bottom Up." That means the real thing, a powerhouse Global Assembly to put the world on a better path. Can we possibly succeed? In preparing this talk, I was reminded of Shel Silverstein's cartoon of two raggedy men chained hand and foot, hanging from a wall. One turns to the other and says, “Now, here's my plan.” That's me to you - I have a plan. My aim today is to convince you that those two guys did get down off that wall. More >

The dream started when I was very young - I am in a room low lit, quiet, filled with bookshelves - like a small library. I sense motion and start down the 3 carpeted steps. As I take my first step an object rolls out from behind one of the book shelves. I am afraid but curious. The object is of a weird metal shiny but dull - odd. The shape is of a wheel within wheel circles within circles moving but ball shaped. The object stopped as if looking at me and I woke up - This dream has reoccurred through my life and every time it picks back up and the object rolls a little farter and I get a little closer. I have always wondered what it was - why it reoccurred.
About 8 years ago I saw a movie called Chariots of the Gods (amazing documentary style movie from 1977 by Erick Von Daniken about the physical evidence of visits by galactic travelers who came to earth - Nasca lines - ancient hieroglyphics etc.) In one part of the movie Erick is showing old biblical paintings revealing spaceships in the sky etc. All of a sudden I find myself looking at the object - the thing from my dreams that rolls across the floor - it was like someone else had stepped into my dream and painted it. Revelation oh my god - that's it! What is it? I have come across the object at different times since.
Recently I decided to do a little research on Alchemy - furthering my spiritual evolution. Once again I came across the object in a painting. Left side of pic Wheel within a wheel.
The quest for information led me to this forum. I would like to ask if anyone else has had this experience or can someone explain what the object is to me. Why I would have manifested it in dreams as a child, that have reoccurred my whole life.
In the dreams I get closer each time - What happens when I get close enough to touch it? More >

As the Corporate Fictions (color of law) of Amerika destroy our world under the tutelage of the international bankers I must rethink my position again and again and again.
I grew up in this nation (a ''legal fiction") and from the earliest I can remember all it did, parents, peers, etc., was make me ashamed and sick that I was being labelled an American, too, one of them.
I don't consider my self anything close to what this polyglot nation stands for. Murder, tyranny, death and genocide on a scale never dreamt of by the world societies' worst dictators.
I have no illusions that this will change. I have no illusions about there being any kind of freedom and/or justice in this sad country for anyone other than the most hardened plutocrat.
Nor do I feel that there is really anything that we can do about it. Maybe praying to some 'Cosmotyrannocrat-god' might help some... if you know the real meaning of the word 'pray.'
Revolting, hardcore, against the tyranny with any or all of their petty instruments of war, paper or otherwise, is to play into the hands of what I now consider to be worse than any insane and ravenous 'beast.'
The obvious answer, a real soul-u-tion, would be for the people (who the **** are they?) to wrest the power away from the scum in the Whitehouse that are prevailing in their deceit, lies and perfidy, but that won't change things one iota!
The ''people (human?)" that are there aren't in control at all. They are lackeys who jump at command regardless of all their pretense at championing fictions like 'demo-cracy!'
Ask the man or woman in the street about things like the difference between a re-public and a demo-cracy and you'll, nine out of ten times, get a blank stare (stare decisis?) and a mumble or two about... well, ah, I dunno or...
I'm totally fed up with all the charades, the pretense at being other than the criminals that the unwashed masses really are for supporting such mind games and charades.
A republic is a system of guidance based on the rule of law. A democracy is based on 'votes.' As anyone with an ounce of perception can see...
the so called 'vote' is fixed, always has been, in this country; as all the behind the scenes "players" buy up this and that Media mogel and or politico that their venemous and deceitful messages might be memetically printed on the minds and very spirits of the fools whom they portend to 'lead!' We the People (copyrighted by fedcorps)? Ha!
Is it any different elsewhere? Sure, more death, murder, enslavement, theft, carnage, of human beings (chattel), for profit. The fiends behind the facade are well known... their names are known! Why, then, is'nt anything concrete being done about them?
The following is an article I hope will be of interest to any and all who want a better way... knowing that it will have to be created from within each and everyone of us who see through the sham scam illusion these wretches are peddling...
Be they frothy mouthed Demon-crat or mealy mouthed Republiscum... or a newly elected E-pis-co-pal-ian Bishopress who just happens to be a woe unto you man...
I guess the liars feel that they had better get the 'happy ones' on their side now to fill up their empty pews. P U! As if that will help them.
"Forgive them, El Elion, for they know not what they do?"--- A dupe
Baloney! For...
They know perfectly well what they do! The final solution? Maybe we should employ a few of their own on them? More >
